  • Fishtown is a neighborhood in the River Wards section of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Located northeast of Center City Philadelphia, its borders are somewhat disputed today due to many factors, but are roughly defined by the triangle created by the Delaware River, Frankford Avenue, and York Street. Some newer residents expand the area to Lehigh Avenue, while some older residents shrink the area to Norris Street. It is served by the Market–Frankford Line rapid transit subway/elevated line of the SEPTA system. Fishtown is a largely working class Irish Catholic neighborhood, but it has recently seen a large influx of young urban professionals and gentrification. The name Fishtown derives from one of the original occupation of its residents. Early settlers were fishermen and over time they controlled the fishing rights to both sides of the Delaware River from Cape May to the falls at Trenton, NJ. The apocryphal local legend traces the name of Fishtown to Charles Dickens, who purportedly visited the neighborhood in March 1842, but records show this to be false, as it was named Fishtown prior to his visit, at least as early as 1808 as evidenced in a newspaper article in The Tickler an early 19th Century Philadelphia newspaper.

  • Fishtown est un quartier de la ville de Philadelphie aux États-Unis. Il se trouve immédiatement au nord-est du centre-ville et correspond plus ou moins à un triangle formé par le fleuve Delaware, la Frankford Avenue et la York Street. Le quartier est habité surtout par des descendants d'irlandais, allemands et polonais catholiques de la classe ouvrière. Le quartier doit son nom aux fabriques de poissonneries d'aloses situées à la fin du XVIIIe siècle et dans la première moitié du XIXe siècle au bord du Delaware et exploitées par des descendants de colons allemands.
